Hi Muhammad,
Unfortunately, FLUKA works exclusively assuming amorphous materials, presenting isotropic characteristics. (The only exception to that is the addition of crystal channeling into the code).
The notion of crystal lattice does not appear in FLUKA so the code does not simulate Bragg diffraction and does not compute crystal lattices characteristic values such as the debye temperature, sound speed, etc
Best regards
Philippe

Subject: [fluka-discuss]: Neutron filter simulation
Hello,
I would like to know if Fluka can be used to simulate neutron transport through crystalline structure (Bragg diffraction, Debye temperature, etc.). I’m planning to use Fluka to design a thermal neutron filter using beryllium, silicon and aluminum trioxide. Can you recommend me relevant articles or the input commands that I need to consider?
Regards
